A Couple of Sai Baba Experiences - Part 445

Baba Helped Me At My Job

Sai Brother Vinay Ji from USA says: Thanks so much Hetal Ji and the rest of your team for your hard work in maintaining this nice website for Sai devotees. I work in a big hospital in southern California as a pharmacist. I usually work night shift and many times our hospital is still quite busy at night (especially because we get a lot of patients from our emergency department).

We have 2 pharmacists work at night. But one day, one of the night pharmacists said she was sick and not able to come to work and they found no other replacement for her, so I had to work alone that night. When I heard this, I was feeling tensed as it had been very, very busy the past few days with some complex neonatal (premature baby) cases and workload was a lot even for 2 pharmacists to manage. I also had been working the past 5 nights, so I was feeling very tired. I asked Baba, "Baba, I know I will be by myself there, but please come and sit near me and help me tonight”.

Surprisingly that night when I went to work, the emergency department was quite calm and hardly any patients were there. Also there were no complex medications required from our neonatal unit (in fact, the babies that night didn't need anything more than routine medicines). The workload the whole night was not much and I didn't feel so tired working the whole night. The few days before this were extremely busy and so busy that they had closed our emergency department to new patients. So I know Baba was there with me that night and made sure that I didn't have to face what could have been a difficult situation alone. Baba made sure all the babies were well taken care of and that all the other patients didn't have to come into our emergency department that night. Om Sai Ram!

Baba’s Grace

Anonymous Devotee from USA says: Hi Hetal Ji, that was really a wonderful thought to start this blog, so that all baba devotees can share their experiences and strengthen the love towards Him. This is my first experience I am writing here. Please do not disclose my name or mail id.

I feel so fortunate because I can feel the love and presence of Baba from my childhood. But, I do understand that Baba loves His devotees more than we love Him. We do not need to complain Him about our lives. He watches every of His devotees with love and care as a mother does.

I was planning for masters in USA. I was already placed in two companies in INDIA. But, it was my dream to pursue masers in abroad. But, I was in complete dilemma whether to proceed or not and left the decision to Baba. The next day in my dream, I heard a voice telling "I have made all the arrangements for your dream. Proceed with that". I was very happy and started with a confidence. I do not have proper time to prepare for TOEFL as my mother got operated and I have to care of her. But, with a complete trust on Baba, I appeared for exam and secured decent marks. My loan was granted without any hurdles. My visa was approved very easily that the visa interviewer did not even ask me any questions and granted my visa. It’s all happening like a miracle.

The next day after my visa is approved, I and my mother planned to go to Shirdi. We called the travelling agents to book sleeper berths in bus. As it is being Saturday, he told all the seats have been booked and two are left at the upper berths. As my mother got operated, she cannot climb up. I did not book the seats and was disappointing. To my surprise after an hour that man called me back and told two berths were available at the bottom row. We were happy and we reached Shirdi.

Today, i am pursuing masters in USA with His grace. I wish He will smoother my life by helping me to find a good job and solve my other family and financial issues. I know He loves all of us and will definitely take care of us. He only needs Shraddha and Saburi from us. OM SAI RAM.

Can Anyone Help Me

Sai Sister Shanti Ji from USA says: I am reading many experiences in this site. Thanks to the owner of this site. I am reading Sai devotees experiences frequently. It's building faith in Sai Baba. I am pregnant. I am suffering with health problems and by this mentally I am suffering a lot. Three days back, I was reading one devotee experience in this site. While reading the experience, in my heart, I thought why are You (Baba) suffering me with problems. Immediately after I felt like so, Baba shown me a
message, "Don't get upset with people and situations. They are powerless without your reaction". I didn't get the meaning of above statement. Currently mainly I am suffering with health issues only. I asked to my husband, but he too didn't get the meaning. Please can anyone tell the meaning of this. I want to know it desperately.

Even though you meant health issues, but following is my interpretation of Baba's response...

keep remembering, praying and chanting Baba while enduring health issues so that health issues doesn't overwhelms you and you don't blame anyone (person or situation) else it keeps you and everyone around you at peace...

"Don't get upset with people and situations. They are powerless without your reaction".

VERY SIMPLE BUT POWERFUL MESSAGE FROM BABA.

No Situation or person is able to harm you Unless you are ready to get that harm by reacting to it.

SO Baba is asking you to be calm & be at Baba's feet, do not react to people/ situation. If you stop reacting,such things wont stop affecting you. ( it is difficult stage to attain, but it will be serene & calm.

Moreover by reacting to situations, situations wont change, but by chanting Baba's name, it will certainly makes us calm & stronger to face situations.

If you stubbornly be at Baba's feet, stop saying anything to anyone who is doing bad to you, such person will become more angry as his bad doing is not affecting you.

It is same situation when Mahatama Buddha was getting so much bad words/ allegation from people,but Buddha Kept quiet. His disciple asked why you are not responding to those lies? Buddha said I am not taking those, let those allegations remain with those people only. I am calm at my God's feet.

Sai ram shanti ji....to the extent what baba made me capable to understand the meaning is......its ur reaction to the problems and worries....and the way u react to situations that cauae pain and sufferings or rather say make u feel it......chant sai sai and leave it on baba......he is there for all.and if any one says wrong to u dont react by using harsh words and stay calm...chanting babas name...baba bless all

Even I was into the same situation last week, but Baba showed me new job in a big MNC company immediately after relieving my previous job. So, please have faith and patience. Baba will definitely do good for you.

wish u a very happy birthday to both of u sisters.....i can understand how much excited u must b that ur bday falls on thursday....may baba bless u both with so much happiness and love thru out ur lives.....om sai ram

Om sai ram…my situation is very diff from any one in this sai parivar.everybody’s know me n my problem.those who are in pain or in problem never leave baba,hold him tightly.he will fulfill all our wish but it may get delay for that we have to keep full shradha & saburi.still m having lots of problem in my life which has not yet solved by baba.but I have faith baba will make it possible when he send me to my husband’s house.now m working with baba’s grace only.

Today is my 13th sai thursday vrat for my husband and how m doing my vrat that is with the help of baba is a miracle for me that I think.m doing 21 sai vrat for my husband.only 8 Thursday left to complete.till 8 Thursday I was at my parent’s home and I was doing baba’s vrat very nicely as per my wish…..after that baba send me to my husband’s home after one year of separation which is miracle also.baba bless me with my husband on my birthday.but still problem is there and patiently m doing teras in my eyes.sometimes m felling fed up of this life but next moment I think this life has given by baba so he must have kept something more good for me n my husband.

Today morning I went to that sai temple near to my home lit diya,offer peda as Prasad and read the sai vrat book and came to office.what a wonderful day is for me that baba itself called me to his temple and accepted my 13th sai vrat puja.

Last Thursday I was confused wht I will do and how I will do the puja.in eveing while returning from office i sat in a auto and that auto was going towards that sai temple and when I knew I became very happy and its baba who arranged tht to reach his temple.I lit diyas ,offerd prasad ,attended evening arati came home n raed the book.but here onwards I will do the sai puja the way I did today.thanx to baba.its my hope baba will surely listen my heart and make my husband a nice husband and bless both of us a happy married life.

Its my request to all plz pray for me and my husband to lead a normal n blissful happy married life like other couple which is still missing in my life.

Baba I'm doing Sai vrat but not following the rules. I'm not fasting I'm eating tiffin in the afternoon and rice for dinner. Not offering coconut and beetle leaves. Baba you know I'm tired physically and mentally. Please forgive me Baba. Baba doctor said I hv pre diabetes. Thanks baba i was scared that I got diabetes and I should be on medication. As per my wish doctor told to watch diet and do exercise. This all happened only because of you. Baba please see that I don't take any tensions and pressure and follow my diet n do exercises.

Reply for the third experience...i might be wrong.. but i can relate the quote to another quote that i saw in this site some days back and have forwarded it to all my friends...the quote is "Actually there is no problem with life.... there is suffering if you wish to suffer and there is challenge if you perceive it that way". I feel the message shown by Sai means that life depends on what reaction you provide to people or situations. Maybe Sai is tellin you to face the situations in life with a positive mind set...:) Om Shri Sainathaya Namah:

Dear first and second devotees, your experiences are beautiful and brought tears in my eyes. Dear first devotee- May Baba ji forever stay with you and make you successful in all your endeavours.Dear second devotee- Our Kind Baba ji ensured that you pursue your dream. He loves you immensly and will ensure that all your worries are taken care of.

Third devotee- I feel that through that message Baba ji wishes to tell you that it is not appropriate to blame Baba ji for your health issues. Baba ji never makes us suffer, He instead cures us. You must keep faith and pray to Him with all your heart. He will never let you suffer. May Our Merciful Baba ji bless you with good health.

Beautiful experiences! Vinay Ji, it was Baba who helped you in the hospital, Baba is there with us in our jobs, school other situations to help us get through difficulties with ease (Baba that night helped make sure all the babies and other patients were well taken care of, so Baba was your partner that night). 2nd devotee, it was Baba who helped you secure the visa and Baba will be there in USA to make sure you are successful. Baba also did a wonderful deed by assuring your mother will get a comfortable journey to Shirdi. 3rd devotee, the meaning of Baba's quote is not to get disturbed by people who try to upset you or if you are a situation that can irk you. Just as a tall mountain does not move or is undisturbed by high winds that gust all around it, you also should be like the mountain and do not let siutations or people upset your calm mindset. If people who try to provoke you are unsuccessful, their anger towards you is unjustified and they will lose interest (it is like Mahathma Gandhi Ji's non-violence philosphy). Om Sai Ram!

All postings are nice. Seeing people are gaining more faith in BABA makes us very happy too! Dear Shanti ji, wow, your name suggests what you should follow in life! Keep SHANTI in every situation and you will be taken care of by BABA. I have recently faced such a turmoil facing humiliation from my own mother, (she just conveyed the other party's words to me) regarding my son and his wife and I was so so so very upset and spent countless moments in agony. Well, my youngest sister said, why you do not let go this pain and just stop thinking or writing about this matter to the concerned people. Some how I could manage putting a full stop at certain point. I do feel that the other party is still having anger towards my efforts to clear my son and his wife's names that were wrongly blamed, but now I am at peace that , I have done nothing wrong protecting my children from false allegations and I do not have to be apologetic for what I did. I do keep normal communication like sending photos and good e-mail forwards etc., I know that I am not getting any acknowledgments meaning there is still anger hold against me! But it's not my problem anymore! What I mean to say here is not reacting to situation/s in our life makes our life easier to deal with. It is our option to accept or reject the pain out of any situation. Just do what is right in BABA's name and leave the result to BABA. BABA reads our heart and surely will take care of our problems. You are right now being blessed and going to have a child, you need to keep your mind free of worries. Your health problems , I don't know what they are but certain changes in your body will make you feel different and/or even unpleasant, but it is a passing phase. You will be ok in no time. Keep listening to good music, good reading and enjoy early morning and cool evening walks. Eat nourishing food as per whatever that your cravings are. Wishing you happy pregnancy. I have read somewhere as follow: We have to treat the difficult situations like placing a mirror to the sun rays. Just as the sun rays are diverted back to the source due to that mirror, our difficulties also will be reflected back , not affecting us, just as the mirror is not affected at all reflecting the sun rays!Jai Sai RAM.

Dear third Devotee...I just want to explain you the meaning of these word.."Don't get upset with people and situations. They are powerless without your reaction".

It means that people and situation can't make you feel bad or make you negative till the time you don't allow them. Problem is not a problem till the time we think it is.. Every situation can be turned in to a happy moment if we want to .. It becomes tough because we think it is tough.. So have faith on your self and baba both that many good things are on your way and you are meant to receive only good things.. Believe me it will happen...Thank you jai Sai Ram..

We do understand that you are doing it for the sake of your devotion to Lord Baba, but we do not want to hurt sentiments of anybody here. If after a point of time, you may not find your chants, it will certainly hurt you and in turn our Lord.

4. You can freely communicate with Lord Sai Baba through comments, but be kind to use humble and decent words to respect serenity of this blog.

5. Healthy discussions are welcomed and sorry to those who wish to create negativity through their words. Such comments will be deleted immediately upon review.

6. Devotees can put forward their doubts to get answers from other fellow devotees. Kindly be cautious about your language and words.
